A "door" into the mitochondrial membrane
Mitochondria—the organelles responsible for energy production in human cells—were once free-living organisms that found their way into early eukaryotic cells over a billion years ago. Since then, they have merged seamlessly with their hosts in a.....»»
Warning signs of sight loss could be identified before vision deteriorates
A new study has shown that the signs of age related macular degeneration can set in earlier than previously thought -- even before patients begin to lose their sight. The findings open the door for research into earlier treatment that could help slow.....»»
Atomic structure of antifungal drug confirms unusual mechanism, opens door to less-toxic derivatives

Startup says its all-silicon microspeakers will be cheaper and smaller than traditional drivers
German audio startup Arioso Systems has a new prototype micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) speaker that does not need a membrane or magnet. Better yet, it's small, flat, and square like a microchip and uses less energy to produce sound......»»
Research uncovers how damaged cell nucleus reseals and repairs itself
Within a cell, the nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear envelope—two layers of phospholipid membrane that prevents the nucleus mixing with other parts of the cell, thus protecting the cell's DNA from outside damage......»»
